But Won't I Miss Me: A Novel

Blending the body-horror anxiety of The Substance with the razor-sharp psychological depth of Nightbitch and The School of Good Mothers, But Won’t I Miss Me is a propulsive, thought-provoking speculative thriller about motherhood, identity, and sacrifice.

About the Book: In an alternate reality where environmental disaster has been averted through drastic human transformation, pregnancy comes with a terrifying caveat: expecting a child also means birthing an identical, nearly indestructible duplicate who will consume and replace you. "Rebirth" is accepted as a natural fact of life—nature's way of equipping women for motherhood. But when Vivi becomes pregnant, she is consumed by a dread that no one else shares. Worse still, in a rare medical anomaly, Vivi emerges from rebirth weakened rather than empowered. Cast out by her husband, she relocates to the countryside with her baby to start over. Yet as Vivi struggles with chronic exhaustion and isolation, she begins to uncover the chilling truth about her failed rebirth—a discovery that will shatter everything she thought she knew about her past, present, and future.
